Pretty damn good, probably the best side content and core gameplay in the series. The main party is a mixed bag however, Randy and Tio are pretty great while Llyod and especially Ellie fall flat. The supporting cast does fare a bit better. In a lot of ways though, this feels like a lesser version of trails in the sky. Even during the final boss, I was just thinking of SC's final boss in the back of my head. It's still a good bit of fun, Crossbell City itself and its sidequests also do this game a tremendous favor.

Man coming from the amazing wild arms 3 to this is jarring. The visuals are bland and kinda ugly and the amount of bland, boring dialogue here is mind-numbing, exploration is nonexistent as you travel in JUST a straight line. I don't care for the characters as they have nothing interesting about them. The game has a level select screen rather than an overworld taking me out of the experience. They decided to add platforming for whatever reason and yes it is bad. There are few positives here, some of the music is really catchy, the towns are really big and intricately designed (I'm a sucker for big towns), and the battle system while nothing amazing is something new and unique. I Want to go back to this game sometime as I'd like to finish the wild arms series but man it's just so boring.

Great point and click game, Manny is a really strong lead with a ton of sass & charm. Glottis also isn't a bad sidekick, he's loud and annoying but still loveable somehow. The antagonists are something this game kinda falls flat on though, you never see much of them and the little you do doesn't give them the intimidating force they need. Aside from a few "What the fuck" puzzle moments, it's a comfortable journey that almost anyone can enjoy.
